NOTE 4 — USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness. The most significant estimates relate to stock-based compensation arrangements, acquisition accounting, contingent consideration, realization of deferred tax assets, the impairment of tangible and intangible assets, inventory reserves, bad debt and warranty reserves and deferred revenue and costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
